25.01.2022 Brooke, from HerHealth Physiotherapy, sharing some great tips for why it’s so important to continue exercising through Pregnancy.

25.01.2022 In our lifetime, we will sleep for around 250,000 hours.. It serves an incredibly important purpose.. Let us know if you're looking for ways to improve your sleep.

25.01.2022 A very very small minority of people with a true leg length difference need to worry about the unevenness of their leg lengths. By design, we're uneven.. so to make us even, despite the fact that we function unevenly, in our books, is nonsense. However, asymmetry is contextual.. so we will ask ourselves questions like:... - Why are they uneven? - Was there an acute spike in a behaviour that propagated this asymmetry? - Is the asymmetry causing a strength deficit? - Is the behaviour likely to continue? - Is there a history of trauma we need to be aware of? There is a laundry list of contextual factors unique to the individual. Moral of the story: A) Health pros need to stop blaming your leg length issues as the cause of problems - it's just a sign of how they function and that's it. B) If you know someone that's been told this.. send them this post.. it might help them. Also, check out our blog, where we dive deeper into this topic. #GetAdjusted #ChiropracticHealth #Physicaltherapy #PhysicaltherapySydney #Physiosydney #ChiroSydney #ChiropractorSydney #physicaltherapist #physicaltherapy #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #leglengthdiscrepancy See more

25.01.2022 Get to know James Dimitroff. His patients miss him and they keep asking when he’s back. Hold on people. He’s coming back, don’t worry. He’s bald, bearded and bears an encyclopaedia of movie quotes. ... He’s courageous, caring and cuddly AF. He’s the one and only.

24.01.2022 Sumo deadlifting is NOT cheating! Choosing the right lift for your levers, allows you to have the optimal pivot point. It's not a preference, unless you have the luxury of not having an anatomical bias.... Optimal leverage implies that the power to lift the bar is coming from your powerhouse (your hip) rather than leveraging on spinal muscles. We are NOT saying it's unsafe to deadlift with a rounded back. If your pivot point remains stable throughout the lift and it's through the hip, have as rounded a back as you'd like. As long as your pivot point remains fixed and is preferably through the hip - where power comes from. The sumo is a great choice for someone with constant lower back irritation or general jacked-ness after minimal loading through the deadlift. We're always here if you need help - send us a DM. #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #crossfit #powerlifting #f45 #bodybuilding #mobility #deadlift #sumodeadlift See more

22.01.2022 Adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep. We should be awake for 15 hours and any more than that results in incrementally decreasing concentration. Sleeping enough improves memory, concentration, tissue repair, metabolism and NOT sleeping enough leads to a long list of health issues. #posturecorrection #desksetup #deskspace #posture #backpainrelief #rangeofmotion #mobilityexercises #hippain... #stability #goodposture #mobility #spinehealth #stretches #lowbackpain #sleep #sleepadvice #care #physio #chiro See more

19.01.2022 Your brain receives signals, like ‘tightness’ and ‘soreness’ as a way of sending you a message. Massaging and foam rolling the sore spot can certainly help ease that signal from being sent for a short period of time but rarely does it stop it from coming back..

19.01.2022 Our friends at Rec Gen Some nice threads for everyone who is active

19.01.2022 @jac.simmonds Jac, aka Wacko Jacko, was destined for the big dance in the AFL. Alas, injuries swayed him to a different career path - Physiotherapy. A true golfing addict, when Jac isn't in clinic you'll probably find him in the 9th hole bunker at Mona Vale golf course or walking his lovely sauso @freddiefootlong. Jac is the man with a plan, which is why our patients are dedicated to setting themselves up for success. A true diagnostician, and one to always follow up...ke...y features of why patients love him. The banter on him isn't too bad either .

18.01.2022 We breathe a lot. And it’s important. You probably forgot how to do it OR... You’ve broken some ribs, and now you don’t expand them because there was no rehab done If you sit all day, and don’t expand your ribs, you’re forced to breathe through your chest and neck. Not only does breathing well improve your cortisol levels, it reduces negative emotions and it allows better concentration. It serves an important role in core function, so a common finding in the clinic is that people in pain aren’t breathing properly. We’re here to help. But for now, just BREATHE.

17.01.2022 Squatting is a beast of a movement because you can shift a great amount of absolute load and leverage a lot of your body at the same time. Generally speaking, people don’t spend enough time getting this movement right, and too many trainers push their clients for depth rather than build a solid foundation for skill acquisition. When you squat with a barbel, you have to learn to negotiate your movement between two fixed points - the barbel and the ground. ... Please take the time to get this right. There are misconceptions and people are misinformed, and people form their beliefs on hear-say, rather than the simple fact that you should: 1. Squat deep for gains. 2. Whether your knees go forward or not has more to do with your anatomy. 3. Cues can change depending on the needs of the individual. Please STOP: 1. Cueing everyone to sit back on their heels 2. Cueing everyone Knees out 3. Cueing everyone Chest up These aren’t necessarily wrong, they just simply don’t apply to everyone Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research Issue: Volume 26(4), April 2012, p 1169-1178 2012 by the National Strength & Conditioning Association.

We know that the position of the vertebra doesn't actually change before or after an ‘adjustment’.. Even that word adjustment could imply that we are correcting a position. Absolutely, things can move better after, things can feel better after, almost as if things have been put ‘back into place’. All that’s happening is that we are stimulating joints and tissues so that you have a better sense of them and a better grip on how to control things.

Here, Dave (@david.thepaddlingphysio) take Ellie (@eliesilversfitness) through some reflexive training that can help her regain some of the stability in the deadlift position, after sustaining an injury doing a deadlift several weeks back. Ellie is a great example of someone that didn’t hesitate to have her injury looked at straight a...way, faced into the process she needed to undergo, and stuck to the plan the whole way through.

08.01.2022 How much weight do you put on the importance of recovery? "All of the weight" We make progress by acutely spiking stress. If a stressful spike used to be prolonged, it needs to be measured and controlled.... part of the progress you make my dealing with the acute back of stress or the prolonged stress is by insuring that you can have that with adequate recovery. In other words.. To make real progress you need to invest in real recovery Plus all the other benefits that Matthew Bartholomew was talking about it the video. #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #crossfit #powerlifting #f45 #recovery #injuryprevention See more

08.01.2022 Mobilisation before movement is a great way to get your tissues and joints moving in the right direction first. Our restrictions, pains and limitations are a reflection of how we move MOST of the time, and so our brain and body need a reminder before we go off and repeat a movement, dozens to hundreds of times. Hot tip: The band makes all the difference. Often, in this stretch, people can hike their hip up to release some of the tension, but using a strong band helps ...depress the hip and allows for better purchase on the target area when leaning into this stretch Thanks Lord Nelson for this tip! #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #crossfit #powerlifting #f45 #bodybuilding #mobility See more

06.01.2022 It’s quite simple. Mobilise an area to improve range of motion first and follow it up with an exercise targeting the use of that area. Mobilisation: an area thinking we are mechanically pushing tissues and structures to increase range of motion, but the majority of what we’re doing is stimulating the nervous system. That stimulation creates a better sense of awareness, thus control. That spike in control, leads to a better appreciation of end range which therefore equals ...in a temporary increase in range of motion. Stabilisation: use an exercise that helps take advantage of your new found appreciation of joint position and control. Your exercise should target the vector, angle and load that you have trouble with. We love prescribing this sequence of exercises before you train, so that you can take further advantage of your mobility gains, throughout the workout. #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #crossfit #powerlifting #f45 #bodybuilding #mobility See more

06.01.2022 Start tracking steps without a goal in mind to see how many steps you reach.. do it for a week Then set a target that will challenge you a little and build consistently. Raise the target as you keep reaching it consistently ... Being continually physically active is what will keep you fresh!!

05.01.2022 The lower trap’s role is to help position the scapula to allow the humerus to go where it needs to go. So the first step is to decide whether it really needs to be strengthened or whether the brain just needs to build a better strategy on how to incorporate its use. Sometimes, your strategy doesn’t incorporate the lower trap at all, and thus, you need to get reacquainted with it, by targeting it in isolation. That’s the first part.. ... Once you’ve built enough strength and awareness in the muscle, the best next step is to incorporate that into movement in the vertical plane - for example, as shown in the video.. Or.. with heavier weight back supported overhead press. 2 super common errors: Trap 3 raise - people raise too high and start in an already shortened position Overhead pressing too heavy, and they lean their torso backward releasing all the leverage on the lower trap. #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #ifbb #powerlifting #crossfit #f45 #training

05.01.2022 Tight hamstrings? Try this. After any mobilisation it's a good idea to maintain the range created by challenging the brain with stability exercises. We often only use a certain range of a muscle or joint because our brain recognises, through behaviours, that that is the most efficient way to move. By provocating the brain to recognise that we can use more of a range of a joint or muscle, we create new behaviours and new neural pathways.... Hot tip: Try exercises to stabilise the joint in the NEW range created by mobilising. The idea is to create a larger range and stabilise it in the new range created. Also, if the exercise is too easy, progress it! Thanks David for this tip! #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #crossfit #powerlifting #f45 #bodybuilding #mobility See more

03.01.2022 How many sessions did you get in this week? Great work!! Tag someone who needs to get off their butt and get to the gym!

03.01.2022 SAME SIDE OR OPPOSITE SIDE Everyone loves a bit of glute action Often we do really well with exercises that challenge the glutes in sagittal plane (forwards/backwards) e.g. squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts. However, the glutes have an important role in controlling movements in the coronal (side-to-side) and transverse (rotation) plane. A way to get some bang for your buck is to hold a counter-weight in one hand when performing a lunge - but which hand should you hold it ...in? One study found that if you offset the forward lunge and hold a dumbbell in the opposite hand of the leg moving forward (contralateral), it significantly improved glute med activity compared to holding it on the same side (ipsilateral). The idea is that the counterweight will challenge the opposite glutes to provide triplanar stability during the movement. You could probably apply this to other variations of the lunge e.g. walking lunges or Bulgarian split squat, but Interestingly, glute med activity was not affected in a traditional split squat regardless of which hand you held the weight in WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? Holding a dumbbell on the opposite side during a lunge challenges the glute med more than holding it on the same side -- Stastny, P., Lehnert, M., Zaatar, A. M., Svoboda, Z., & Xaverova, Z. (2015). Does the dumbbell-carrying position change the muscle activity in split squats and walking lunges?.

02.01.2022 Exercise creates the long term shift Treatment can support you along the way Yes, there are long term studies supporting the benefits of ongoing treatment.. ... But it’s kind of like a protein shake. It’s quite a specific, targeted stimulus to help you get through but at no point is a protein shake the same as a meal, and at no point should the protein shake outweigh a great overall diet Treatment is a bit like a protein shake, it helps get you through, but treatment will never be a substitute for a balanced, active lifestyle. . . . . #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #crossfit #powerlifting #f45 #bodybuilding #mobility #deadlift #squat #bench See more

02.01.2022 We need to progress movement patterns through load. The biggest gap we see is people doing ‘low threshold’ (easy + simple) exercises in preparation for a ‘high threshold’ movement - like a loaded squat. Let’s raise the intensity of the warm up, by loading preparatory movements incrementally so that when the bar is loaded, your nervous system and movement patterns are closer to running hot... Here is a 3 step progression to help you prepare for a loaded hinge movement like a squat or a deadlift. (this progression is squat>deadlift) Thanks Jenny! #prehab #sportstherapy #sportsphysio #lowerbackpain #movewell #performancetraining #physicaltherapist #sportsrehabilitation #injuryrecovery #athletictrainer #backpain #backpainrelief #injuryprevention #neckpainrelief #rotatorcuff #massagegun #hippain #painmanagement #crossfit #powerlifting #f45 #bodybuilding #mobility See more

01.01.2022 Can we load our core without doing targeted core exercises? Of course we can!!! Nelson takes us through 2 exercises that will challenge our core while using our upper body. The reason....our core needs to provide us with a stable base to work off. Here our core is required to keep our torso straight and centred whilst lifting tension above our heads. ... Hot tip: by doing single leg or single arm exercises our core is called upon to stabilise our torso....or you will tip over.

01.01.2022 Technique trumps So often we have people coming into the clinic with complaints of pain, and it’s not until we see them perform an exercise, only to discover that it was HOW they are doing it which is causing the problem. It’s a huge factor, which.. No matter what a practitioner tries to do to treat the problem, the pain will continue to return especially when excessive load is taken on in an inefficient way. ... This is just ONE of the many reasons we have a fully kitted out gym at each of our clinics. It’s such an important part of diagnosis and rehab. We can help you...
